Army leaders in hot seat over Poland deployment cancellation

The Pentagon abruptly canceled a deployment of over 4,000 soldiers from the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team to Poland, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering the halt in the last two weeks. Army leaders faced congressional criticism over the decision, with lawmakers questioning the timing and expressing concerns about the message sent to NATO allies and Poland. The cancellation is reportedly part of the administration's broader effort to pressure European nations to increase their own defense spending.
